"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Up having coffee before sending the wife to work. i'll be staying home with junior today as he got in a tussle at school yesterday and ended up with a broken leg. It is splinted up until the swelling goes down As long as nothing moves,he should not need surgery. We are hoping for that outcome,so for now,it's pain meds . and leg elevated with ice packs.The term they used for the break is :Trimalleolar Fracture

A tussle or a brawl? I think a scratch is from a tussle and broken leg is a brawl. I witnessed my 9 year old son come to the rescue of my 6 year old son at the baseball field this past summer. I don't want them to be bullies by no means, but do not want them to be bullied either. It made me proud that bigger brother did what he did and why he did it.

Aw man that sux. Wish Josh a speedy recovery for me and tell him to enjoy the meds :-D What's the other guy look like?

I don't think that is what Irwin has in mind, and I also don't think the mods will leave it if he posts his thoughts. :shock: :shock:

And, Irwin, the old joke was singular, not plural, as in: How do you make a hormone?

my oldest got in a fight at school once. thank god it was a few year back because my question when the assistant principal called was "did he win?". that question now would probably have had CPS at my door :-D

JR, be glad you are not a girl. you would have a bald spot from the hair pulling. a broken leg is much more attractive! hope you are feeling better. :evil:

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....
